There are two options for you to have your passport valid:

1. For the expensive, considering logistics,you may ask that your passport be extended by another 5 years since the electronic passport total lifespan is 10yrs. However, this can only be achieved at the passport office, Abuja.
2. For a cheaper option, the passport may be re-issued at any of the passport offices, nationwide after which the former one will be cancelled.

Although, most embassies might not issue visas on a travel passport of which validity is less than 6 months but valid visas on expired/cancelled passport remain valid until they are expired(e.g 10years Visa on your 5 years passport). You are only required to have a valid passport attached to the expired/cancelled. Please use "rubber band" and not staple pin, otherwise, the embedded chip may be damaged and render your passport useless.

I received PPR mail as at the time my passport validity was less than 6 months. I got another passport(which carries the PRV) and all visas on the old passport remain valid.

@Orire,Many thanks for this insight.Just wondering when you collected the new passport did you write to AVO on the change in passport nos prior to the passport submission for visa?Also how many months to expiry would Nija passport office issue a fresh passport ?my previous thinking was that the current passport must have expired. Also if there is a name change involved in the renewal does this affect the aforementioned process in any way?

@ priceless, the first scenario may be risky because i dont think that expired passport will be giving attention to at POE even though it has visa. expired passport makes the content in it expired.
i think the second option is possible as you can renew your passport with Nigeria embassy in canada while waiting for the receipt of your PR Card.

thanks @YomexTEV.For the second option would like to know how easy it is get a new passport in canada and the cost.Also can this be done from other province or you have to physically go to ottawa?

@ Orire,Many thanks for this insight.Just wondering when you collected the new passport did you write to AVO on the change in passport nos prior to the passport submission for visa?I DID NOT WRITE THEM AHEAD BUT SUBMITTED ALONG WITH THE NEW PASSPORT AN UPDATED FORM IMM0008 BEARING THE NEW PASSPORT NUMBER.Also how many months to expiry would Nija passport office issue a fresh passport?IF ALL THE PAGES ARE EXHAUSTED, PASSPORT CAN BE RE-ISSUED AT ANYTIME BUT IF YOU STILL HAVE UNUSED PAGES, THE PASSPORT VALIDITY MUST BE LESS THAN SIX MONTH FOR RE-ISSUE TO BE APPROVED my previous thinking was that the current passport must have expired. Also if there is a name change involved in the renewal does this affect the aforementioned process in any way?YOUR BIOMETRICS REMAIN THESAME IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NAME CHANGE. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE A WISE OPTION TO INFORM ACCRA FOR GUIDANCE.

Thanks Orire - very correct . I had a similar experience as described by you - having a valid visa on an expired passport. The new passport I collected, then I used a 'rubber band' to hold both the old and new together and I travelled with both passport documents with no issues
